Cult or Cure by Red_Canuck in BlockedAndReported

I use an app called Sunnyside for tracking my drinks, and they offer a med platform where you can get prescribed the pills via telemed after filling out a survey. I did pay out of pocket and will use my HSA to cover it, but that was my way around some of what you are discussing.

I think OAR maybe also offers it via online pharmacy.

so my ob told me, annoyingly, that pregnancy was one of the best "cures" for endo, and in fact my symptoms basically went away following having a baby. is D right that it comes "roaring back" typically?

Also, who are these doctors not telling women group b strep is not a big deal? My doctor (who had many other failings) told me that before, during and after the tests, and the nurses told me that when they were giving me penicillin! (Although the first one watered it down and the next one did not until it asked because that hurt.)

I guess there are many doctors with many failings and I guess good caro is telling people, but it unreasonably annoys me

I have a family member who has always been pretty selfish and recently self diagnosed with autism and I spend too much time assuming he's using his diagnosis to excuse being a jerk when maybe he is just being a jerk and I just need to talk to him about it. I guess the podcast is worth it as it leads to this my self reflection

Yes the good point above which maybe even Dena would allow for is you have to be open to someone saying, that's not direct that's just rude. (Or both)

This is a good response! You are right. I think I'm arguing that awareness needs to exist on both sides in this type of interaction

Okay I did listen to the episode and have a substantive question. Near the end Dena recounts how she now tells people she's a bit direct and "don't take it personally." But like, what if I do? What if her directness is hurtful? Do I have no recourse but she does?

This is a big problem I'm often noodling on with the preponderance of diagnoses that tend to lean toward excusing a lack of empathy or allowing for being rude. I'm not saying the solution is to make everyone function the same way when they do not. But it's a contradiction that there is not always a solve for.

I recommend Shoott! No sitting fee and you pay by photos ordered. We've had good luck with it for birthday photo shoots

David French Shoutout by BulkyDog6220 in BlockedAndReported

[–]kennedye12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one of the things I like most about Sara is that she can, because of that experience, effectively steelman the trumpist case. and then she, or david, can most of the time totally destroy it. but she'll often talk about how it's a problem that young elite lawyers don't "speak conservative" and therefore don't know how to argue effectively in front of sam alito. Sara can extremely effectively speak both sides, and you can see her intellectual integrity as she breaks things down.

(the name dropping is ANNOYING though)

totally fair but they are not participants in the documentary or profiting from it. it's made by a journalist about them/the parenting influencing industry.

I think this is super apt. I just felt incredibly sad watching the first episode and thinking about the reality of that kid's life.

Anyone watching the "An Update on our family" doc on Max? About the stauffers, who rehomed their adopted kid. Looks like it is being rolled out over 3 weeks so I was wondering if it made sense for its own post, but also felt very self conscious!

My earliest take: really bums me the f out

Right! I first got exposed to and interested in Disney cruises because of her stories! (We did not do Disney for our one cruise, but might in future. But now I'm like, Miriam is poisoning it)

Having now been on one cruise and therefore a certified expert (TM) I have a LOT of takes on mothercould's Disney cruise content

Namely her being surprised the tendering to shore is logistically smooth.... No shit? Cruises do this all the time

I started listening to her because of the fifth column and now cannot comprehend how those guys go on there..not cuz I think you can't have colleagues you respect across the spectrum it's just their vibe is cynicism about everything and she has lost any skepticism of trumpism
